VII. NGAs perspective on IP rights monitoring  Multi-level monitoring mechanisms exist  General belief that monitoring is effective – but in my sense, there is a need for convergence  Challenge of enhanced convergence of all NGA efforts Why are we doing this? As mentioned earlier, that historically IPs belong to marginalized sector. There are a lot of discriminations. But we are on the right track now in recognizing them. How do we do that? We coordinate both national and local government to advance their development. We need government interventions in terms of legislation policy implementation and I would like to give you a quote from one of our Presidents… “Those who have less in life should have more in law.” – Pres. Ramon Magsaysay 69
